The concept of quality in Health Care






Structure, process, outcome
Quality Domains: effectiveness, responsiveness ….
Quality of services versus quality of systems
Health care helps individuals and populations to
realize their potential health
Quality relates to compliance of practices with
evidence
Quality relates to health outcomes attributed to
services

Broad Purpose of OECD’s HCQI Project




Develop indicator set - to raise questions about quality
of health care across countries
Initial attention - technical quality of health care (i.e.
effectiveness)
Future consideration of other areas (e.g.
“Responsiveness/patient centeredness”)
To be representative of the main disease and risk
groups in participating countries

Periodic Update of the set of indicators fit for
international comparisons
Ongoing methodological work to improve indicators
until fit for international comparisons
New indicator development in 5 priority areas
establishing specific country expert subgroups.

HCQI Progress (4):
New Indicator Development


Focus initially on patient safety and mental health
Patient Safety
– Dublin seminar - “Safety Data for Safer Care” - First Meeting of the OECD
HCQI Patient Safety Expert Group
– Co-hosted with Irish Department of Health and Children
– Two work initiatives developed and circulated

Mental health
– Spring 2006 teleconference
– Data questionnaire development Fall 2006
– First Subgroup in-person meeting October 17-18, Paris
13
Plans for 2007


HCQI Special Chapter in Health at a Glance2007
New indicator development:
– Patient safety initiatives in hospital administrative data and adverse
events systems; production of 2 working papers -June 2007
– Mental health
• Information collection and framework working paper on data and data
systems; initial working paper April 2007
• New indicator working paper – November 2007
– Primary care and prevention
Indicator subgroup launch – 2007

Linking quality indicators with volume
outputs and cost accounting


On system level only sensible when a long term
prevention and disease perspective is taken linking
the clinical logics model (McGlynn 2004) with cost of
illness studies
On services level mainly sensible when using
ICD9/10 data; limited meaningful links with DRG-data

Bridging Health Volume Output and
Health Care Outcomes


Using HCQI’s for volume output measurement
Linking HCQI’s with functional prevention and
disease pathways identified in national accounts
